Since this is the last thousand years of elven history, and Mirana and his brother are still one of the two elven royal families, then Duke has a little doubt.

"Gandalf, how could Mirana's brother, as a member of the Moon-Chaser Royal Family, be in the Inquisition of the Humans?"

Duke still expressed the doubts in his heart, although the elves have declined, but the overall strength is still amazing, not to mention dominating the continent, at least there is no problem in a corner of peace. Under normal circumstances, the Holy See would not easily attack the elves, let alone capture the elven royal family, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Before Gandalf could answer, Mirana on the side said coldly: "Because of the seizure of power, our Moon Chaser Royal Clan was forced to cooperate with the Hell Demon in order to maintain the status and dignity of the elves. But after all, we are a high race, and we can change our faith for the sake of strength, but we can't let go of our pride. ”

"However, after all this for thousands of years, in the face of the increasingly stable rule of humans on the continent, the thinking of many elves has changed. Some of the fallen elves have decided to completely fuse the power of demons, and only in this way can they defeat humans and dominate the continent. This part of the elves is called the demon elves, and when the father is alive, they can still be suppressed by the father to maintain the purity of our elven bloodline. “

But after his father's death, his brother inherited the throne of Chasing the Moon, but he was unable to suppress this part of the demon elves, and their supporters grew, and finally the elder brother began to be unable to control the entire fallen elf kingdom. ”

"However, in view of the influence of the Moon Chasing Royal Clan and the relationship with the bloodline of the Sun-Chasing Royal Clan, they do not dare to attack my brother directly, and can only collude with the Human Holy See to arrest my brother, so that they can control the entire fallen elf clan, and finally use elven magic to open the gates of hell and rule this continent with the demons!"

Duke's hearing the term again, he didn't expect that in addition to the Valley of Monsters, it turned out that the fallen elves also wanted to open the gates of Hell. So what exactly are these hellish creatures, and if they come to the mainland, will they really destroy the world as the legend says?

Just as Duke was imagining the creatures of hell, Gandalf said impatiently: "Okay, you know everything you need to know, Mirana's brother is only temporarily imprisoned in Andorra City, once the Holy City's special Divine Punishment Chain is transported, he will be transferred to the Holy City, and it will be difficult to rescue him at that time, so there is not much time left for me, I must leave immediately." ”

Hearing Gandalf say so, and this is also Gandalf's private matter, it has no effect on Stormcastle, so Duke simply agreed: "Okay then, pay attention to safety." ”

In the face of Duke's polite words, Gandalf was as chic and uninhibited as ever, and turned around and walked away, which made the expression on Duke's face a little embarrassed.

"The old guy can do it, I'll find thicker thighs later, and see how you pretend to be forced." ”

Just as Duke was scolding in his heart, the fallen elf Mirana glanced at Duke, hesitated and saluted him and said, "Actually, I didn't really want to hurt you that day, I was just anxious to rescue my brother quickly, so I'm sorry." ”

After Mirana said this, she was probably embarrassed to face Duke, and walked away quickly after Gandalf.

Hearing Mirana's apology, Duke just smiled slightly, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all, because he felt that Mirana had no murderous intent from the beginning, if he really wanted to assassinate the assassin, he would have done it with one knife a long time ago, how could he talk so much nonsense and wait for the guards to come over.

However, being able to hear the apology is also a thing that makes Duke feel a lot more comfortable, after all, he doesn't like the feeling of holding a knife to his neck.

After Gandalf left, Duke went to Galileo's science lab in the back garden, wanting to discuss land transportation with him. Because the Age of Discovery is too far away, and the crisis of the shortage of various materials in Storm Castle is imminent, the sea route cannot be taken, so it can only be solved by land.

The only overland way to Fort Storm's access to the outside world is over the Saint-Michel Mountains. Of course, you can also choose not to climb over, but you have to detour hundreds of kilometers, and the transportation time and cost are terrible.

But once you cross the Saint-Michel mountains, there is almost no terrain to hinder you, just plains as far as the eye can see.

The reason why there was a war of the five tribes back then, competing for supremacy on the Europa continent, was actually to compete for the best plains on the Europa continent. For example, it is very similar to the Central Plains region of ancient China, if you want to dominate the world, you must control the Central Plains!

Since it is a plain, land transportation will naturally not be much worse, at least much better than a large area of southern China in ancient times. That is, because of the superior geographical conditions of the basic core area and the abnormal danger of the ocean, this world did not have the germ of the Age of Discovery as in the history of the earth, and still only focused on the continent.

If there were no Sierra San Michel, the Storm Castle would only be a few dozen kilometers away from Alpine City in a straight line, and even if it was only one or two hundred kilometers away from Andorra City, this distance was not too far, but once it was slowly bypassed from the gentle point of the mountain road, the distance would be increased several times.

Duke's idea was to either shorten the distance in as straight as possible or speed up the transport. If one of these two points is settled, the transportation of supplies at Storm Castle will change radically.

Straight lines are basically impossible, and modern mountains and mountains have to be winding roads, let alone this era. The first point is unrealistic, so we can only start with the second point, which is to speed up transportation.

There are actually only two things to speed up transportation, a faster car or a better road. Duke planned to start on these two points, but he didn't know much about the world and the road, so he could only ask insiders, and Galileo was naturally the best choice.

Coming to the science laboratory in the back garden, Duke actually hasn't been here for a while, after all, he is too busy with too many places, and he can't pay full attention to scientific research and technology, so he can only let Galileo and them slowly explore and promote the progress of science and technology little by little.

When you enter the laboratory, Duke is greeted by all kinds of bottles and cans and some instruments that Duke does not recognize. Different from various modern electronic instrument laboratories, this is almost the same as the alchemy laboratory in the world in the world that Duke saw in the interjections or anime, but Duke took a closer look, these bottles and cans have scales on them, which means that they have nothing to do with those witchcraft alchemy, but basic scientific research experiments and measuring instruments, it seems that Galileo has indeed stepped into the threshold of modern science.
